Unqualified National Sports Federations and Associations risk reimbursing all government funding they have received over the past five financial years, according to recommendations made by the Select Committee formed to investigate the operations of the National Council of Sports (NCS).


The Committee found that several registered Federations and Associations fell short of the minimum requirements set by the NCS, yet continued to receive funds from the Council. This included eight of the 51 Federations and Associations, which did not have physical addresses, posing a risk of fraud and financial loss to the government. 

The Committee recommended that the Auditor General conducts a forensic audit on all Federations and Associations that have received government funding over the past five years and that the Council halts the disbursement of funds to Federations that fall short of legal requirements. The report also called for the recovery of funds disbursed to Federations that failed to account for them
